خَلَقَ الإِنسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيم ٌ مُبِين ٌ
Khalaqa Al-'Insāna Min Nuţfatin Fa'idhā Huwa Khaşīmun Mubīnun
He has created man from a seed, but then he becomes clearly in opposition.
18:37
قَالَ لَه ُُ صَاحِبُه ُُ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ~ُ أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّاكَ رَجُلا ً
Qāla Lahu Şāĥibuhu Wa Huwa Yuĥāwiruhu 'Akafarta Bial-Ladhī Khalaqaka Min Turābin Thumma Min Nuţfatin Thumma Sawwāka Rajulāan
His friend said to him while discussing with him: "Have you disbelieved in the One who has created you from dust, then from a seed, then He evolved you into a man?"
22:5
يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْب ٍ مِنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَة ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُضْغَة ٍ مُخَلَّقَة ٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَة ٍ لِنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَى أَجَل ٍ مُسَمّى ً ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلا ً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُتَوَفَّى وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلاَ يَعْلَمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عِلْم ٍ شَيْئا ً وَتَرَى الأَرْضَ هَامِدَة ً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنْبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْج ٍ بَهِيج ٍ

O people, if you are in doubt as to the resurrection, then We have created you from dust, then from a seed, then from an embryo, then from a fetus developed and undeveloped so that We make it clear to you. And We settle in the wombs what We wish to an appointed time, then We bring you out a child, then you reach your maturity, and of you are those who will pass away, and of you are those who are sent to an old age where he will not be able to learn any new knowledge after what he already has. And you see the land still, but when We send down the water to it, it vibrates and grows, and it brings forth of every lovely pair.
23:13
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاه ُُ نُطْفَة ً فِي قَرَار ٍ مَكِين ٍ
Thumma Ja`alnāhu Nuţfatan Fī Qarārin Makīnin
Then We made him a seed in a safe lodging.
23:14
ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَة ً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَة ً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَاما ً فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْما ً ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاه ُُ خَلْقا ً آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
Thumma Khalaqnā An-Nuţfata `Alaqatan Fakhalaqnā Al-`Alaqata MuĐghatan Fakhalaqnā Al-MuĐghata `Ižāmāan Fakasawnā Al-`Ižāma Laĥmāan Thumma 'Ansha'nāhu Khalqāan 'Ākhara Fatabāraka Allāhu 'Aĥsanu Al-Khāliqīna
Then We created the seed into an embryo, then We created the embryo into a fetus, then We created the fetus into bone, then We covered the bone with flesh, then We brought forth a new creation. So glory be to God, the best of creators.
35:11
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ أَزْوَاجا ً وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنْثَى وَلاَ تَضَعُ إِلاَّ بِعِلْمِه ِِ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّر ٍ وَلاَ يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ~ِ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَاب ٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِير ٌ
Wa Allāhu Khalaqakum Min Turābin Thumma Min Nuţfatin Thumma Ja`alakum 'Azwājāan Wa Mā Taĥmilu Min 'Unthá Wa Lā TaĐa`u 'Illā Bi`ilmihi Wa Mā Yu`ammaru Min Mu`ammarin Wa Lā Yunqaşu Min `Umurihi 'Illā Fī Kitābin 'Inna Dhālika `Alá Allāhi Yasīrun
And God created you from dust, then from a seed, then He made you into pairs. And no female becomes pregnant, nor gives birth, without His knowledge. Nor does anyone have his life extended, or his life is shortened, except in a record. This is easy for God.
36:77
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الإِنسَانُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَاه ُُ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيم ٌ مُبِين ٌ
'Awalam Yara Al-'Insānu 'Annā Khalaqnāhu Min Nuţfatin Fa'idhā Huwa Khaşīmun Mubīnun
Has man not seen that We have created him from a seed, but he then becomes a clear opponent?
40:67
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَاب ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَة ٍ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلا ً ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ثُمَّ لِتَكُونُوا شُيُوخا ً وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُتَوَفَّى مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا أَجَلا ً مُسَمّى ً وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

He is the One who has created you from dust, then from a seed, then from an embryo, then He brings you out as a child, then He lets you reach your maturity, then you become old; and some of you will have their lives terminated before this; and that you may reach an appointed term, and perhaps so you may comprehend.
53:46
مِنْ نُطْفَة ٍ إِذَا تُمْنَى
Min Nuţfatin 'Idhā Tumná
From a seed that is put forth.
75:37
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَة ً مِنْ مَنِيّ ٍ يُمْنَى
'Alam Yaku Nuţfatan Min Manīyin Yumná
Was he not a seed from sperm put forth?
76:2
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاج ٍ نَبْتَلِيه ِِ فَجَعَلْنَاه ُُ سَمِيعا ً بَصِيرا ً
'Innā Khalaqnā Al-'Insāna Min Nuţfatin 'Amshājin Nabtalīhi Faja`alnāhu Samī`āan Başīrāan
We have created man from a mixed seed; We test him, so We made him hear and see.
80:19
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَه ُُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
Min Nuţfatin Khalaqahu Faqaddarahu
From a seed He created him and molded him.
